And you are right, Solver, much still to learn. I've been working with this program for just a few weeks and feel like I'm just scratching the surface!

Thank you all for the suggestions. Though I had already reviewed many of the videos and tutorials addressing the subject of manual dormers, it turns out what I really needed was instruction on creating a manual WALL dormer. Here's a link to the corresponding article in case anyone else comes searching for the same information: Creating a Manual Wall Dormer (Also my happily amended plan image.)

I am trying to replicate a 2-car garage with upstairs apartment as shown in the first photo attached. The second image attachment is the glass house version of what I have created thus far in Home Designer Pro 2024 running on Windows 10 64-bit. I'm currently stuck on how to eliminate the overhanging roof edge in front of the shed dormer so my windows can extend below (like the photo version.) I have tried breaking the roof edge in front of the dormer and pulling it back, but that causes the dormer to blow up. I have watched all the pertinent training videos and help topics on roofs and dormers that I can find but none seem to address how to fix this. I'm sure it is an easy fix but I'm a newbie and I'm stuck, so I would be most grateful for any wisdom. I have also attached my plan. Thank you! Hathaway Rd Apartment w Dormer.plan
